|December - January 2018
Don’t let a small space keep you from throwing the party of the season.
BAR CARTS are essential for any host—especially during the holidays. And they’re a delight to decorate. Combine your hosting abilities with your bartending skills and add something fabulous to your festive holiday home. Vanessa Dina, in her book The Art of the Bar Cart: Styling & Recipes, gives her best styling tips and tricks for impressing your guests with your own special beverage station. Here are a few of our favorite ideas.
